"What about naming it Alexander Wren if it's a boy and then Auden Rose if it's a girl?!" she exclaimed excitedly as the points at the circled names in her notebook dedicated to their first born child. Her husband smiles at his wife and says, "Sure, I love them both." This made his wife smile and jump with excitement.
The couple was going to wait until the day the baby was born to find out the sex of the baby. The couple chose on a yellow and green bedroom set and already decorated the whole room. The wife spent hours and hours in the room rocking in the white rocking chair reading to her unborn child.
December 14, 2012
The couple was on their way to their last doctors appointment before their due date. The wife was in the passenger seat pinning things to her Pinterest page while her husband drove. The weather out was nice, but there was a lot of traffic due to the holidays.
"I'm so excited for our growing family. This will be the best Christmas present I will ever receive," said the husband as he reaches for his wife's hand. His wife looked up from her phone and had tears of joy in her eyes. This was the last time her husband will ever see her smile. The couple was hit head on by a drunk driver. The couple was taken to the hospital. The wife was taken into the O.R and had an emergency delivery. The wife lost too much blood and did not make it. The husband suffered minor injuries and survived. The baby was delivered and was healthy.
December 25, 2013 (one year later) Christmas Day
The husband sat in the yellow and green room holding Auden Rose in his arms. His daughter was one year old. He sat there looking at the best Christmas gift he ever received. He sat there and was mesmerized by how a tragic accident was both the worst and best day of his life. He knows that he could not have made it through this year without his daughter. He is living every day trying to be the man that his wife knew he was.
